Mel I am trying to talk grandson into getting this drone that flys and takes good pictures from the 3000' level. Trouble is--if if ol shameless sees this he'll probably start wear'n a green hat outside, sorta be in disguise.  Wondering if that dad ratted ol snow machine can shoot down something from 3000'. as hot as it has been -- might be worth it to cool off some!

These look very familiar. I have the original grill from the HD6 before it was converted to a hard nose.

think your HD6 is more like 15500 than 5500; as it has the front mounted hyd tank and pump that came out from 13000 onwards. unless it had a major upgrade to the hyd system in its 900 hrs. Dry clutch was standard fitment on HD6B. oil was a optional extra

Easiest way to tell will be the engine. #5500 is buda. 15500 is 6000

Is that really possible to have only 932 hrs for a 50 year old machine ? I would like to hear the history on this one and see lots of pictures ?
